The Lighthouse Commission is a Grand Rapids, Michigan band who play an eclectic mix of melodic and psychedelic songs written by guitarist/lead vocalist Jon Chuchvara, who has been playing with drummer Kevin Grant since 1993. Keyboardist/backing vocalist Jim Prange joined in 2004.
The band are unconcerned with current trends in music, preferring instead to pursue their own sound- which reflects influences such as Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Minutemen, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Grateful Dead, Beck, and The Velvet Underground.
"Angels & Aliens" is the band's debut studio album. For the initial sessions, the full band was recorded live at Soundfield Studios in Wyoming, Michigan by Pete Bass. The drums recorded at these sessions are the drums heard on the album; also, a few guitar parts from these sessions were used on the album. All other instrumental parts and all of the vocals are overdubs that were subsequently recorded by Jon Chuchvara and Jim Prange with ProTools. The album was mixed by Jon Chuchvara and mastered by Rob Savage.
